is this worm safe in my 10g tank, or do i need to take it out.

i have a few snails, hermits, (2)shrimp, (1)fish, pulsing xenia, and a green star polyp. planning to get an anenome soon, and mayb another soft coral and a fish.

ive had the LR its living in for about 7 months and got it from a LFS. im guessing its a hitch hiker.. it came almost fully out and was about 1", so its prob 1 1/2"

please help!
thanks.

harmless type of bristleworm. Will eat detritus and poo and reproduce. Don't touch it, or it will cause pain and irritation. If you do touch it soak the spot in really warm water and maybe vinegar.
